@Bluedy:
I downloaded it and installed it into my WINE directory recently and can say that while it is mildly amusing, it somehow just does not seem to appeal to me as a way to spend idle time.

The 3d graphics are mildly impressive, but the game actions seem rather mundane and uninteresting somehow. I cannot say that the idea of trying to avoid running over rodents with a lawnmower ever ranked high on my wishlist, and making sure you mow a lawn in a timely manner seems achingly dull as a pastime.

Though it seems to me that it is an impressive piece of programming in it's own right, I cannot say that I'm likely to retry it again soon or that I will not uninstall it soon.

For me, maybe it is just that pretending to be a medieval hero, no matter how bumbling or incompetent that hero is or what kind of enemies he faces, is inherently more fun than pretending to be someone with a dead end job in a dystopian suburban wasteland. But, maybe I just like Dink Smallwood too much to make a fair comparison.
